Sharing a SceneIf you create a scene that you would like to share with another T4S/T8S ToneMatch® mixer user, you can save that scene as a Shared Scene by saving it to the [To Shared Scene] slot. Using the L1® updater, you can upload the Shared Scene to your computer and then transfer the file to the computer of another T4S/T8S user. The other T4S/T8S user can download the scene to their T4S/T8S using the L1 updater. The L1 updater is available at www.Bose.com/livesound.

To save a Shared Scene:

1. Load the scene that you want to share (see “To load a scene” on page 31).

2. Press the Save control to access the list of scenes.

3. Rotate the Select control to scroll through the scene list and highlight [To Shared Scene]. Press Select or press Cancel to exit the list.

Care and Maintenance

TroubleshootingIf you experience problems while using this product, try the following solutions. If you still cannot solve the problem, seek online help at www.Bose.com/livesound. If you cannot find answers to your questions there, please call the Bose Product and Technical Support Team directly at (877) 335-2673.

Problem What to do

T4S/T8S is plugged in, power switch is on, but no power.

• Make sure you have power at the AC outlet. Try operating a lamp or other equipment from the same AC outlet or test the outlet using an AC outlet tester.

If using the T4S with an L1® Model II or 1S system:

• Make sure the ToneMatch® cable is properly connected to the mixer and the L1 power stand.

• Verify that the power cord plug is fully inserted into the power stand and the AC (mains) outlet.

• Make sure the L1 power stand is turned on and the power LED is blue.

T4S/T8S is on, but there is no sound.

• Make sure the Master volume control is turned up.

• Verify that the input channel(s) you want to hear is not muted.

• Check that the Volume control is turned up for the channel you want to hear.

• Make sure the appropriate input channel Trim control has been turned up enough so that the LED is green (indicating that there is a strong input signal).

• Check the Prefs (Preference) Input and Output level meters to confirm that there is a signal at both the input and output stages.

• Make sure volume control is turned up on your input source (instrument).

• Connect your input source (instrument) to the mixer using a different cable.

• Plug your input source (instrument) directly into the L1 power stand or a different amplifier to make sure the source is working.

• Turn the mixer off and wait 30 seconds. Then turn mixer on again.

If using the T4S with an L1 Model II or 1S system:

• Turn off the power stand, re-seat the ToneMatch cable plug in the ToneMatch port, and turn on the power stand again.

• If available, try a different ToneMatch cable. If another ToneMatch cable is not available, try a standard ethernet cable.

• Connect the T4S/T8S Master output to the Analog Input on the power stand using a 1/4" phone plug cable. Turn up the power stand Trim control, and verify that you hear sound.

• Make sure power LED on power stand is blue. If LED is red, please call the Bose Product and Technical Support Team directly at (877) 335-2673.

44 - English


Problem What to do

Poor quality sound from a microphone or instrument connected to the T4S/T8S.

• Make sure there is no unwanted zEQ or Para EQ equalization applied.

• Verify that you have selected an appropriate ToneMatch® mixer preset for your microphone/instrument. If you do not want to use a ToneMatch mixer preset, make sure ToneMatch is set to Flat.

• Make sure there are no unwanted effects (Comp/Gate, Mod, Delay, Reverb) on your input channel. Check the Status in the Prefs menu for any currently active effects.

• Check that the T4S/T8S input Trim is adjusted properly for your microphone/instrument. The signal LED should be green; if the LED is red, lower the Trim level until it is green.

• Try a different microphone or instrument cable.

• Check the cable connecting your microphone or instrument to the T4S/T8S mixer. Make sure the cable plug is fully inserted into the microphone/instrument output connector and the T4S/T8S input connector.

• Check the settings (if any) on your microphone or instrument.

• Check the batteries (if any) in your instrument or microphone.

Not hearing any effects. • Check that you pressed the correct CH Edit button.

• Make sure the FX Mute button is not pressed for the channel in question.

T4S/T8S not responding to control knobs.

• Turn off the mixer. Wait 30 seconds and turn mixer on again.
